Four Cuban exiles based in Miami have been arrested for allegedly planning terrorist acts in Cuba, Reuters reports. The country's interior ministry says the suspects—Jose Ortega Amador, Obdulio Rodriguez Gonzalez, Raibel Pacheco Santos, and Felix Monzon Alvarez—were targeting military installations "with the objective of furthering violent actions," WPLG reports. They have admitted to the plot, Cuba says, and have ties to another Cuban exile in Miami: Luis Posada Carriles, who is wanted in the 1976 bombing of a Cubana Airlines plane.

The suspects were reportedly arrested in Cuba on April 26; it's unclear why the news wasn't made public until late yesterday. The media statement on the arrests noted that three of the men have traveled throughout the island several times since mid-last year in preparation for the planned attack. The news comes as Cuba launched its International Tourism Fair, aimed at bolstering the country's second-biggest industry, Fox News reports

The United States, and Florida in particular, is the retirement community for every dictator, murderer, torturer who escaped justice at the hands of citizens in Latin America. This is why whenever the U.S. talks about "democracy" the rest of the world rolls their eyes and lets out a sad little sarcastic laugh...
